ASF Calcium Booster – Powder

Concentrated Calcium Supplement for Reef Aquariums

ASF Calcium Booster Powder is a high-purity calcium supplement designed to restore and maintain calcium levels found in natural seawater.
Calcium is a fundamental macro element required for skeletal growth and calcification in stony corals, clams, and coralline algae.

Insufficient calcium limits coral growth, while unstable supplementation can lead to imbalance with alkalinity and magnesium. Calcium Booster Powder allows precise, controlled calcium adjustment, ideal for reefs with high consumption.

The optimal calcium range is 400–450 ppm.


Key Benefits

  • Restores and maintains natural seawater calcium levels

  • Supports coral skeletal growth and calcification

  • Ideal for high-consumption SPS and mixed reefs

  • Powder format allows precise, customizable dosing

  • Compatible with magnesium and alkalinity supplementation

  • Cost-effective solution for large or demanding systems


Directions for Use

  • Dissolve the required amount of powder in RO/DI water

  • Add slowly to a high-flow area of the aquarium or sump

  • Adjust dosing based on calcium test results

  • Do not increase calcium by more than 50 ppm per day

  • Monitor alkalinity and magnesium during adjustment

Regular testing and weekly water changes are recommended.

Reef Shot and Booster Powders are not competitors—they are tools for different strategies.
Reef Shot excels in daily stability, while powders shine in correction, scaling, and precision control. Advanced reef keepers often use both.
